Немцы в истории Русской Америки
Аннотация
The article is devoted to contribution of Germans to colonization of Russian America (Alaska before 1867). Many Germans were seamen, administrators, scientists, etc., and some of them even were at the head of Russian colonies. Thus, we can mention such famous names as Georg-Willhelm Steller, Otto von Kotzebue, Ferdinand von Wrangell and others. The article was based partly on unpublished archival documents and rare published sources.
